As an only child I don't have any sibling with whom I can compare my DNA....but I am fortunate in having a double first cousin who shares my four grandparents. Our fathers are brothers and our mothers are sisters.
Currently lots of genies are sharing their results from Ancestry's new SideView tool that shows which ethnicities we inherited from which parent. Of course I am joining the party. Below on the left are Jane's results and on the right are mine. Our fathers' ethnicity is on the left of the diagrams and our mothers' on the right.

It appears that I have more of our Duncan grandfather's Scottish genes and Jane has more of his aboriginal genes. Jane is more Irish and English than me and I have missed out on the Basque gene.
No wonder we have so many unique matches in the Ancestry database.
I’m envious Jill as I’d love to be able to try this. Unfortunately neither of my parents could be persuaded to get tested.
ReplyDeleteThis is a new Ancestry feature which does not require our parents to have tested. So we can all see it.
DeleteJennifer my parents both passed away before Ancestry started testing so you should be able to see your report too.
